  • Driver Education In High School

    Did you have driver’s education classes in secondary school? 

    One of our listeners requested that we chat about learning to drive in school. While we didn’t have access to driver’s education through school, we have a few ideas we wanted to discuss today. Today we’ll talk about driver’s education in high school; the motivation to drive; the basics of getting your license and the ways in which we use our driving skills.   Do you drive? Why or why not? And do you think driving lessons should be a part of post secondary education? Let us know in the comments and always, if you have other ideas for us or if you want to be a guest on the show, send an email to [email protected]. We look forward to more of your great questions.

    Hey everyone and welcome back to The Pulse. Today we pick up where we left off in our discussion about the things we didn’t learn in school that we wished we were taught.
